A source claims that Prince Harry may face a significant snub from the royal family following his UK return. The comeback news follows years of strained palace relations since he quit royal duties officially in 2020.
While Harry and Meghan Markle’s children are understood to be enrolled in British schools for the September term, the Sussex pair is returning as private citizens and is not expected to resume official duties on behalf of King Charles.
Source suggests Prince Harry might not get invited to Remembrance Sunday event after UK return
The Royal Family may not invite Prince Harry to the upcoming Remembrance Sunday ceremony despite his return to the UK.
According to RadarOnline.com, the Duke of Sussex will be in the UK on November 8. However, as a non-working royal, Harry does not have a guaranteed formal role alongside the royal family at the Cenotaph ceremony in London. Instead, he could mark the day separately, possibly by joining veterans after the official service concludes.
An insider told the outlet, “Harry will want to mark Remembrance Sunday in a meaningful way. If there isn’t an official place for him at the Cenotaph, there are other ways he can pay his respects. What makes the situation sensitive is that any appearance involving both brothers would immediately become about William and Harry rather than the veterans.”
Additionally, the Duke’s expected presence has fueled speculation that a potentially uncomfortable reunion with his elder brother, Prince William, looms on Remembrance Sunday.
A separate source noted, “Remembrance Sunday matters enormously to Harry because of his military service, so being back in Britain inevitably creates the possibility that he and William could find themselves attending the same commemorations. Nobody expects that to be comfortable. Their personal relationship remains extremely difficult and simply living in the same country isn’t going to repair it overnight.”
For the unversed, Prince Harry spent 10 years in the British Army, including two tours in Afghanistan. The non-working royal reaffirmed his military ties by laying a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. He did so just as reports of his planned return to Britain surfaced.
